    What type of software did you have in mind?
    For machine control I use LinuxCNC, but if you're not a unix guy then Mach3 is probably a better choice.
    So far I have written all my G code manually because of the learning curve of all the CAD/CAM applications I've tried.

    I think the most important thing is to make a basic dust shoe right away.
